Well, first off this is a lie because I found my tooth and brought it back with me. What you've never heard the story of the lost tooth of Haytor? Gather round kiddies and I'll tell you a tale that will make Americans cringe and smile.
HE-MAN
Haytor is a tor, not He-Man's ("HE-MAN" music) arch enemy. A tor is mostly a pile of rocks or a hill shaped like a pile of rocks, it's a celtic thing. Anyhoo, there we were at the visitor centre eating ice cream when my chocolate popsicle with a chocolate bar centre (yes that's how you spell centre around here) suddenly seems like it has something hard in it. I thought "Oh, it's got toffee chunks in it!" The "toffee" seemed a little hard though so I spit it out. Then I noticed I was missing a tooth. Technically part of a tooth. Realizing there were probably no dentists on or around the tor, we decided to wait until Monday when I could have my first British dental experience. We climb up Haytor and Renee wants to go to the top. When we went back down to the parking lot I miraculously found the white rock that was a former piece of my tooth.
HAY-TOR
Monday comes and I am thinking this is going to be painful and expensive. I called and got a dental appointment with a dentist within walking distance. They informed me it would cost £16.50. I thought Ok that is a reasonable "see the dentist" fee. To shorten this story I handed him the piece of my tooth and he glues it back in. It cost £16.50. Apparently, some Brits complain about this fee, that may explain the state of English teeth. I was relieved and amazed. I am still in shock. I thought they would root my canals or something. He just said go easy on it for a couple of hours.
.....UPDATE ...... UPDATE..... at the Irish Pub with Thai food my tooth bit came out again because of some tough tofu. So back to the dentist tomorrow. I wonder if they will charge another fee.
Ok to keep this about Renee because it ALL about Renee. And I like that. I do. I really do.
Here is a picture of Renee running up to the Tor Hay.
Haytor (again)
Later she met some cows.
Until next time this He-Man is saying goodnight.
